The SUN ‘n FUN Aerospace Expo is one of the world’s largest annual aviation events and Yes it's back and gearing up to bring you a better than ever SUN ‘n FUN Aerospace Expo in 2021!
Sun n Fun will have pandemic safety procedures in place for this year’s show, so that you can get back to safely enjoying airshows again this April 13-18th at
Lakeland Linder International Airport. They will be welcoming the
U.S. Navy Blue Angels who are celebrating their 75th Anniversary with all new Super Hornets and the new Fat Albert C-130 along with the
F-22 Raptor Demo Team,
Aeroshell Aerobatic Team, and much more!
Over the last few years T-34 participation has been hit or miss and this year we want to ramp it up and get at least
12 / T-34's to attend and at least 8 / T-34's to fly in the daily airshow. The Sun 'n Fun staff has committed to giving us hard surface parking for the day if we will commit to getting a minimum of 12 / T-34's on the ground. If you are planning to attend the Baker Fly-in we will be arranging a mass formation arrival to SNF on Tuesday. Although you will need to be formation qualified and current to fly in the daily airshow Gary Donovan is working a plan which may allow you to fly in with the group on Tuesday in the mass formation so long as you can show basic proficiently at Bakers.
The SNF team is currently constructing the daily airshow schedule and we would like to have the T-34's represented by having 8 or more aircraft perform in the show each day.
